Memorial Day was started by former slaves on May 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated.
I have received many email forwards, then I have forwarded them to people on "my list". I love these touching, warm, funny emails. I started saving them on my computer, so I would never lose them. I decided to create a blog to hold all these email forwards, so others can enjoy them and so I can easily refer to them when I want. I hope people who love email forwards as much as I do, or like reading funny and inspirational readings will find this site and share it with others.

Birds On A Wire
One morning while reading a newspaper, Jarbas saw a photograph of birds on an electric wire. He cut out the photo and was inspired to make a song using the exact location of the birds as musical notes. He was curious to hear what melody the birds created.
He sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the newspaper. It ended up Winner of the YouTube Play Guggenheim Biennial Festival.
Just have a listen below at how incredible this sounds.
You can check out Jarbas Agnelli’s live presentation of Birds On The Wires

109 Year Old Film
107 YEAR OLD FILM CLIPThe first track from Airs' Moon Safari album, accompanied by scenes from a video shot from a streetcar traveling down Market Street in San Francisco in 1905.
This film was lost for many years. It was the first 35mm film that has come to light.
It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car as it travels down the street. You feel as though you are there, standing at the front looking down Market Street San Francisco, an amazing historical film.
The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing!
The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there.
Before the earthquake/fire of 1906 destroyed the area.
Remarkable footage of the turn of the century lifestyles in California. Made by cleaverb!
The video is CC no rights reserved. You can download video from the www.archive.org.

I used the big 330MB(145MB mpeg) version,but you can download other formats.

CONCENTRATION AND THE POWER OF YOUR MIND!!
The Amazing Power of Your Mind - A MUST SEE!
That's why I keep telling people, but some never listen; your beliefs, words, and thoughts, create the greater potential to manifest disease and sickness. I am not perfect but I have healed mySelf by changing my MIND many times. SO can you!!!! 'Say your feeling much better.' Rather than saying, 'I am sick!' Because your mind as a creator will give you just as you ordered.
Physician heal thyself, is my motto.

Heart of a Mother - The Beauty Of A Mother's Love
Click on the link
(The picture above or title below)
to see the beautiful quotes below
on Mother's in a beautiful video:
Heart of a Mother Inspirational Movie
The Beauty of a Mother's Love
The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God,
is the heart of a Mother.
~ St. Therese of Lisieux
The moment a child is born, the Mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The women existed, but the Mother, never.
A Mother is something absolutely new.
~ Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
Making a decision to have a child is momentous,
It is to decide forever to have your heart
go walking around outside your body.
~ Elizabeth Stone
The noblest calling in the world is that of a Mother . . .
She deserves the highest honor that man can give.
~ David O. McKay
A Mother is she who can take the place
of all others but
whose place no one else can take.
~ Cardinal Mermillod
The heart of a Mother is a deep abyss
at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
~ Honoré de Balzac
It is not what you do for your children
but what you have taught them to do for themselves
that will make them successful human beings.
~ Ann Landers
A Mother hold her children's hand for awhile,
but their hearts forever
~ Author Unknown
A hundred years from now
it will not matter what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in,
or the kind of car I drove,
but the world may be different
because I was important in the life of a child.
~ Forest E. Witcraft
The greatest gifts you can give your children
are roots of responsibility and wings of independence.
~ Denis Waitley
A final thought about the beauty of a Mother's Love:
Before you were conceived, I wanted you.
Before you were born, I loved you.
Before you were here an hour, I would die for you.
This is the miracle of life.
~ Maureen Hawkins

Exciting Australia Tourist Stop
Lion Feeding time...
IMAGINE THE RUSH YOU GET SITTING IN THAT SEAT!
This is the Werribee Open Range Zoo in Victoria Australia, and only the hood of the car is outside the glass cage with lions. The rest of the car is on the inside. Very interesting way of interacting with the lions.
The seats are cleaned after every trip.
